Sports Bras: More Support & Less Va Va Voom!


I want to talk a little about boobs.  IF you are blessed with perky  itty bitty titties, you have my permission to snicker at those of us who are well-endowed (because it's likely we've turned a few more heads with our cleave than you have, and the following will be sweet revenge.)

When I walk and jog my boobs tend to swing, bounce and eventually escape from my bra, causing double boob syndrome in the cleave, along with a lot of discomfort. My underwire gets sweat soaked and probably rusts.  I can only hope my tetnus is up to date because I'm likely to be punctured by that rusty wire one day.

In preparation for the exercise plan, I went to Maiden Form for a work out bra, which they do not carry.  So I did what most red blooded American women do in times of dire need. I went to the Wal-Mart Super Store.  Somewhere past the watermelons and before the basketballs I found a well picked over sports bra area.  

The Mart I was in was tres chic and had lights around the dressing room mirrors that shut off if you held still too long.  I found myself standing in the dark, shocked at how small my chest looked smooshed underneath sport band material.  And yes, before you begin wondering, I jogged in place to check out the bounce factor.  I liked the looks on the Medium Resistance bras, but the bounce prevention on the High Resistance was excellent.  

I also picked up a couple of work out tops which "wick away" moisture.  We shall see.  

Many years ago, I wore spandex bicycle shorts and tank tops, a jaunty pony tail and a Trek helmet and turned heads on Canandaigua Pier with my BFF Melanie.  Today, I wouldn't mind if a cross-eyed special-needs clerk checked me out in the grocery store, I would be flattered.  Let's see where this Summer Dress plan takes us, shall we?


Many kind and less bouncy regards,
